Borges as a exclusive whisperer,
esoteric reformist, elite collocutor…
Borges’ fame has been based on his role of exclusive whisperer, esoteric
reformist, elite collocutor: in spite of his fame, Borges’ readers sense
the illusion that they have discovered him themselves and that he has
been talking to them personally. Indeed, it is hard to place him among
other writers, since there is this notion that he is implicated in all
of them, that he represents them, compensates and exclude in a certain
way. Namely, Borges represents his period not by egocentric and
monomaniac exclusiveness,
but by the capacity of enlightening, chaining, echoing. After Borges
nothing stays where it was before in the literature republic… In the
scenic adaptation of huge and demanding Borges’ work the most important
was to present emotionally most founded aspects. According to measures
of human language an old man and a blind come first, together with their
specific idea of the world, while in the background there are writer’s
global metaphors such as: labyrinth, cross, tiger, dagger, sphinx,
library, pyramid and mirror. It is impossible in any other media to
achieve formal completeness and inaccessibility of Borges’ symbols, and
it is necessary to check the range in the crossing of interpreter’s body
and voice in a certain definite “omega” point.
